Ingredients
Lamb Stew:
- 1 red onion diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 aubergines cut into 1cm / ½inch cubes (ish!)
- 4 cloves garlic grated or crushed
- 2 cm fresh ginger grated
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds ground in a pestle and mortar (or buy ready ground)
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds ground in a pestle and mortar (or buy ready ground)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 600 g diced lamb leg
- 400 g tin tomatoes
- 200 ml lamb stock from a stock cube is fine, I used Oxo
- 4 teaspoons harissa paste (or to taste - take care, some brands can be fiery!)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- salt and pepper to taste
- 400 g tin chickpeas
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves finely chopped (plus a few extra leaves for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180C / 160C fan / gas mark 4 / 350F.
- Place the diced red onion in a large, hobproof, ovenproof dish (or a saucepan and transfer into an ovenproof dish later) with the olive oil. Cook on a low heat with the lid on for about 5 minutes until the onions have softened, stirring occasionally.
- Add the cubed aubergine and turn up the heat. Cook until the aubergine and onions are golden brown – about 5 minutes. Stir frequently to stop the aubergines from sticking to the base of the pan.
- Turn the heat down again and add the garlic, ginger, ground coriander, cumin and cinnamon. Fry for 1 more minute.
- Add the diced lamb and turn to coat in the spices.
- Add the tin of tomatoes, lamb stock, harissa and honey to the casserole dish and bring the tagine to the boil.
- Put the lid on your ovenproof dish (or tip into an ovenproof dish, if using a saucepan, then cover with the lid) and transfer to your preheated oven. Cook for 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, remove the tagine from the oven and stir in the can of drained chickpeas. Put the lid back on and put the tagine back into the oven for a further 15 minutes.
- When the tagine is ready, stir in most of the coriander, then sprinkle over a few leaves for garnish. Serve the lamb curry straight from the casserole dish with jewelled couscous, plain couscous or rice.
